Entertainment Weekly revealed the cover for its annual San Diego Comic-con preview issue this Wednesday and we can't be more excited about it!

A behind the scenes shot of director Ryan Coogler speaking with Chadwick Boseman on his full Black Panther garb an all his squad assembled is everything you need this Thursday.

The Black Panther comic debuted in an issue of Fantastic Four in 1966. It was the first black superhero in mainstream American comics and his story in brief is about the alter ego of T'Challa, the king of Wakanda, a mythical and technologically advanced African country. By day, T'Challa mediates conflicts within his nation. By night, he battles Dr. Doom.

The official release date for "Black Panther" is February 16, 2018.

If this wasn't convincing enough, we leave you other 5 reasons to watch it:
